Movie posters are a lost art nowadays (have there been any good official posters in the last 10 years?), and I doubt we can make them great again. Same with trailers as well.

 Movie posters tend to not have the same romanticism they used to have - due to their focus on photographic collages, mainly - but you can still find some good ones.

Movie trailers are as good now as they've ever been, which, in my opinion, is not all that good, but that's just me. I don't care about trailers, but most made today are of a fairly high quality.

I agree that Struzan's SE posters are pretty dull, but his PT ones a great no matter what people think of the movies themselves. Anyway, it seems strange to complain about Struzan or even Struzan imitators (I quite liked that Super 8 poster) when they're the only ones trying to keep the old fashioned poster style. I'd rather a second-rate Struzan poster for TFA than a photoshop job.
